Details: Webcast to over a dozen listeners on June 28th, 2020 and taking its cue from the notion that 'if you think there is a solution, then you're part of the problem' this is a look at the subject of indifference, i.e. of not giving a shit, which comedian George Carlin (known in The Church of the SubGenius as 'Saint George') touted as an important skill to have in life. In other words, last week, we paid homage to activism, and this week we pay our dues to the other side of the coin, that of...

Webcast on April 23rd, 2017--A psychedelic and experimental media mix of mostly music all about these mysterious and darkly beautiful creatures and their treatment in culture at large. This program skitters around from rap to rock, to R&B... from comedy to SubGenius lore, this show covers a lot about our 8-legged friends. Our favorite part is the blues set which starts about halfway through the show. Later in the mix we have a Spiderman set. Listener Discretion. Hope you like! - 3 hour...

Webcast on November 6th, 2016 2 days before Election Day. This is a further developed mix that we did in the virtual Second Life environment 2 weeks previous. This is a round-up collection of (mostly humorous) remixes, mashups, collages, 'Trumpstep' (one could say) interpretations (heavy on the much more sample-able Trump in the treatment here), also protest songs, but probably mostly homemade DIY audio mixes, and works, that creatively came out of the 2016 Presidential Election season from the...

From a show done for 'Crack of Dawn' on October 7th, 2016 at KPFA in Berkeley with Puzzling Evidence (Doug Wellman) and Dr. Hal (Harry S. Robins) in the studio. With remixes of humorous religious pieces as well as remixed excerpts from the 1963 LP "Famous Monsters Speak!" this mix of mixes includes long, dense spooky Halloween-worthy sequences, take-offs on cults, "God(s)" and religious dogma, as well as political material including at least a couple of post-added Donald...

This was webcast on July 3rd, 2016--A couple of months in the making, 'Aliens' is a hyper-edited, often highly dissociated yet nicely blended, unique collage mix (shaken, not stirred) celebrating the SubGenius annual (until we get it right) celebration of X-Day which takes place on July 5th. The third installment in our four-part SubGenius Icon series which also included 'Robots' and 'Dinosaurs' and 'Monsters' (and Gods). To donate to NCN's expense or to show appreciation go to...

Broadcast on KFJC (for the recurring Mr. Pumpkinhead show and part of their MAYhem Specials) and mixed live by Phineas Narco and JC Clone on May 20th, 2016. The daring duo return to the terrestrial airwaves and serve up a mouth-watering musical audio-collage meal (for your eardrums) all about (dot dot dot) Dinosaurs. Educational and entertaining in a non-linear, dissociated kind of way. Originally a 4-hour LIVE mix which delves into pre-history and explores the realm of the raptors, Barney,...

A 3-hour mutated, manic media mix all about ROBOTS. Which was played to over 20 listeners on April 24th, 2016. Tons of work went into this show ALL WEEK LONG including a couple all-nighters, and it's by far the best program since the Bowie Tribute Show in January and the most elaborate since 'Mad or Bad'. We worked so hard on this we were LITERALLY IN PAIN! Yes, this one HURT to get OUT! First part of a planned quadrilogy (we will explore 3 more iconic and SubGenius topics (besides robots) in...

Webcast on January 21st, 2016 on Plundercast.net and DFM.nu out of Amsterdam - A show all about the universally undesired state of boredom: ennui, malaise, doldrums, 'blues', call it what you will--an exploration that sets out to find out what causes it, represent the current cultural conversation about it, and discover what (if anything) should be done about it. Boredom is actually an INTRIGUING SUBJECT as it turns out: something found extensively in popular culture as well as psychological...

Webcast originally on October 18th, 2015 to dozens of listeners--over a couple of weeks after the Umpqua Community College shooting in Oregon. A cultural commentary made up of news, clips of politicians, comedians and pundits addressing the gun issue, songs about guns, the controversy of gun control, and a digital deconstruction overall of the endemic gun problem in America which gets more ingrained with every mass shooting. This was simulcast originally in the DFM Second Life Burning Man...

Just about exactly as it was broadcast on August 16th, 2015 with minimal trimming--NCN (Phineas Narco) appearing live, and solo, on the 'Day of Don (Joyce Unto the World)' all-day Negativland / Don Joyce tribute show on KFJC: Remembering the great talent and work of Don Joyce who curated 'Over the Edge' on KPFA for 35 years. We collected some choice rarities and pieces not heard for quite some time from Over the Edge and Negativland and composed them 'conversationally' using Don's own handed...

This is a re-edited, re-mastering of our 2008 biographical tribute to the life and music of Freddie Mercury of the musical group Queen. The story is augmented and populated with mods, mashups, remixes, covers, deconstructions, effects, etc. of Queen's music. More linear in its structure than usual NCN programs, but still told somewhat out of sequence, this program examines Mercury's life from his childhood in Zanzibar, to the start of his career as an iconic rock star in the U.S., to his tragic...

Mashups and versions of The Beatles' music is almost a genre unto itself, and this mix is a collection of some of our faves from that body of collective work. This is the first of 3 programs chronicling some interesting Beatles 'variations': mostly mashups, some covers, parodies, and audio experiments all put together in one continuous stream-of-consciousness mix by NCN. This is an uncut NSFW "Director's Cut" version of this program and is probably not safe for terrestrial radio,...
